Dani was the main character of a comic I made when I was in high school called 'The Legend of Phoenix'
Gwyneth and Pensila were also from her comic. I am currently re-writing that comic (renamed 'Eternal Flame') as Danielle's backstory. I don't know if it will take 'full' comic form due to my limited time.

As for Dani's role in 'Song of the Butterfly'....well she has a pretty big part(s) in the story. I'm sorta worried she will overshadow poor Rimy since she is a more developed character. You will get to see a lot more of her in coming chapters.

Originally, I had planned to render the whole place in Maya and use that for the back ground.
It didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. So I went with good ol' hand-drawn and photoshop.
I still use the render as a reference/ layout map.

I didn't 'actionize' the panels on this page. I just didn't like the way they looked.
Rimy's 'fight' should make up for it though *heh heh*

The dialogue on this page actually didn't take long to add....but the art on the page itself....UGH
It was worth it though. This marks the first appearance of Danielle in one of my comics since the mid 90's (she had her own comic)

I won't reveal anything about her yet, but she will have an extensive character design page sometime in the future. I will have to piece it together into a single page because she has so much history and so many design changes.

When my friends an I used to play fighting games all the time, we used to voice what we thought the characters were saying to each other. Kei Okuda was a character I had in my MUGEN roster and I would always voice her when she came up...and thus Kei was born.

Full of herself and VERY overconfident, Kei is a brawler. Very much like the Guardian Cynthia (she's coming up soon!), Kei like to solve her arguments with her fists.
She usually has a band-aid on her body somewhere because he always gets hurt sparring with Nicole. Her original design has her with freckles, but that made her too much like Cynthia so I removed them. I did away with the breast bandages and just made her a bit smaller.

Kei likes to fight in whatever she is wearing...which is usually her uniform. Expect to see ALOT of panty shots from Kei. :D

When I designed Nicole, I imagined her to be very soft-spoken.
I wanted to give her a baby-face, but as I drew her more and more, I really didn't like it so much.
She always seemed to be picking on Kei, but the two are actually very close friends (more so than either of them are to Heart)
Although Nicole likes Heart, she considers her more of a boss than a friend.

Heart changed a bit from the designed version
I originally wanted her to be tall and thin, sorta like
a fashion model. But I decided I didn't want her to be too much taller than Kei and Nicole.
I ended up making her hair a bit too curly in the actual comic than I intended. I kept drawing it like the Guardian Cynthia's hair (we get to see her later in the chapter)I'll try and correct it as I go :D
I made her freckles less prominent since Kei was suppose to have alot of freckles (which I ended up ditching)

I must have a thing for freckles and glasses. Even Rimy has glasses, she just doesn't wear them outside of her room. She only needs them to read. (just wait until Gwyneth see Rimy wearing them :D )

I'm going to try to move the update day back to Thursday night/Friday morning. SO there will be another page this week.
I guess I should set aside time to make a Comic cover too for the site redesign ;)
